The building formerly owned by the noble family von Schönberg has had an eventful history over the centuries and many wondrous incidents have happened in and around it. The Lay-Haus used to be village inn, dance hall, meeting place of the sock knitting guild of Limbach, municipal brewery and wine-press house. In the Lay-Haus of today, the guest can find original pieces of the past restored with much care and effort in each room. The landlord is an expert on the past and can tell stories full of witticisms. Of course they are all related to the house - we guarantee for that. Even Karl May used to be here once.
